a Onaer Marriage.

LONG BRANCH. Oct. 6--An announcement
which has shocked the good families of this
neigh borhood is that last week Miss Lizzie Budd
was married by Justice Edwards to Jesse
Cramer. Miss Budd has the reputation of being
the prettiest girl in the county. Her father is a
prominent official of the New Jersey Southern
railroad, and has bestowed upon her most lib
eral education. He is in more than comfortable
circumstances, and she has been prominent not
only in the social circles of thu permanent resi-
dents, hui also in the entertainments at the ho-
tells in summer. Last season she was said to be
the most daring ID graceful woman rider on
the bluff, and her fondness for athletic exercise
has given her robust and beautiful figure.
Last August, in company with a party of young
ladies from West Philadelphia, she drove out
into 1.-THE Pines" In this wilderness, amid a
settlement of squalid negroes, Cramer keeps a
small grocery store Miss Budd is said to have
formed an attachment for this man. 1t is
alleged that several clan5estine meetings fol-

illiterate. His wife accom- panied him to his

SENATOR VOORHEES,.

He Reappears at Washington and Talks
About Newspaper Men and the President.
Special TO the Indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Senator Voorhees,. OF
Indiana, has been in Washington for the past
two days. He and his son Charles have taken
apartments for short time at the Ebbitt.
Whenever ne is seen on the street he is always
surrounded by the same old gang that have
profted by the Senator'S distinguished position
for the past ten years in Washington. They
never miss opportunity to greet the Senator.
Ofice-holders come out of their rooms, and. if
necessary, they will take day off without
pay" to spend a few hours with the man they
tor was not very good natured to-day. He stood
Fourteenth street, within a few feet of the
door OF the Ebbirt House, and expressed his
views the subject of the interview with his
son ''Jim" in exceedingly forceful and classic
language. and the way that he went for the
Cincinnati newspaper man who intimated that
Jim was not of sound mind would have made
that journalist palid. Senator Voorhees,
friends assert that he said to them that Presi-
dent Cleveland is bound to be renominated and
reelected, and that there is other Democrat
who has a chance against him. This would
seem to indicate that the Tall Sycamore" has
become a convert to the banner of the admins
tration. The fact is however. that the Indiana
statesman has a private opinion about the Presi-
dent; still. when he gives utterance to this opin
ion. as he did once day. the atmosphere in his
vicinity ia exceedingly lurid.

not give any particulars regarding the progress
Of the disease, the number of the victims.
Strange to say, the disease first struck the
Neapolitans, and the proportion of the stricken
among them was greater than among those from
Palermo, who imported the disease. The disci-
pline on board was perfect, and the doctor and
his assistants were unfiriDg in their efforts.
The captain main tanned his jollity of demeanor
throughout the entire trial in manner which I
now confess was inspiring. There were no
more funerals after the first Concealment of
the true state of affairs lasted but short time
and the victims were given to the deep one after
another. I believe that no one really knows
how many died on board; every day brought it's

LAUREL, Del, Oct 6-Investigations just
made into the fatal epidemic prevailing in Smith
vile, Caroline county. Maryland. show that it
is malignant diphtheria instead of black-tongue
fever, was at first supposed. Almost every
case resulted fatally and the fewswho have re-
covered are left nearly blind. There have been
fifteen deaths and dozen new cases have de-
veloped within the past two days. The symp-
toms chilly sensation. followed by a
swelling of the throat, the tonsils becomin q
liberated. In fatal the sufferer never
rallies, but rapidly grows worse until relieved
by death caused by strangulation.
The disease was confined largely to children.
The churches, schools and all business houses
have been closed by order of the Board of
Health, leaving the residents in deplorable
condition. No one will dare to venture near
the afflicted ones and the dead placed in
rough boxes and buried by their relatives. The
best physicians of the county were summoned,
but could render very little assistance owing to
their inability to provide nurses for their pa
tients.

The Effects of Mental Ex-
haustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system. are the products of daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avOcatiOns often involve an amount of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health, and the professions, if
arduOusly pursued, are no less distruc-
tive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one
OF the most important attributes of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, that it compen-
safes for this undue loss of tissue, and
that it imparts new energy to the brain
and nerves. The rapidity with which it
renews weakened mental energy and
physical vitality is remarkable, and
shows that its invigOrating properties are
OF the highest order. Besides increasing
vital stamina, and cOunteracting the
effects Of mental exhaustion, this pOten-
tial medicine cures and prevents fever
and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspep-
sia and constipation, kidney and uterine
weakness and other complaints. Ply
sicians also commend it as medicated
stimulant and remedy.

Practicing Without License.

The Lawyers Of this place were terri
fed with surprise Tuesday morning, at
the opening of court. when Judge Mou-

would request each and every member of

til the following day to examine the law,
and see what course they would take in
the matter. which request was granted.
